'That's it T…' Cam slapped his team mate on the back as the large alien warrior placed the last of the heavy boxes on Sam's floor.

Standing up, he merely raised an eyebrow at the man. 'Are there not people of your world who would perform this service in return for payment Colonel Mitchell.'

'There sure are Teal'c but Cam's a tight arse…' Daniel peered over his glasses as he entered the room and Cam placed his hands over his hips defensively.

'Hey, I bought the beer!'

Vala overheard the last of his words as she and Sam walked in from the other side of the lounge and made a beeline straight for the fridge. 'Beer, now that is an idea…'

A smile tugged at Cam's lips as everyone gathered in what was now partly his kitchen.

Despite spending the last few days packing and moving he was still finding it hard to believe it was actually happening and the fact their friends knew and were helping just made the whole situation that much more surreal.

'I think we're gonna need a bigger house…' Sam cast a glance over the boxes cluttering up the floor as she handed him a beer. 'Either that or we have a really big yard sale.'

'Nah… we can find room without having to sell your stuff.'

Cam's grin widened as she slapped him playfully on the arm and he resisted the urge to fight back, knowing where it would undoubtedly lead. Not that it would be a bad thing but probably not all that appropriate considering they had company.

'So, pizza?' He raised an eyebrow, leading the group back into the lounge and plonking down on the couch.

'I called last time...' Sam sat beside him, trying not to appear phased as his arm snaked around her. Although their new found freedom had come as a huge relief she was still finding it awkward acting as a couple in front of everyone.

It seemed though, that their friends had already adjusted because no one so much as battered an eyelid too focused on the task of getting food.

'I'll do it!' Vala went for the phone but Daniel reacted quickly, snatching it out of the cradle before she could reach it.

'Last time you called, it was twenty minutes before you even started ordering.'

'Well how was I to know there'd be so many choices…' She huffed as he began dialing the number, slumping down on the arm rest of the recliner Teal'c had settled in. 'You're on my side right muscles?'

He cocked his head slightly and after a moment of silence decided it was in his best interest to agree with her. 'I believe you to be overly competent at ordering sustenance.'

Grinning broadly she poked her tongue out at Daniel who waved his hand dismissively as someone picked up on the end of the line. 'Ah, hello… yes, I'd like to get…'

Sam took a sip of beer as Daniel rattled of their order, enjoying the content atmosphere.

With the system lords gone and the threat of the Ori dealt with, they could finally relax knowing that at least for the minute the galaxy was relatively safe. She doubted it would last though, which was why she intended to savour every moment until their next big encounter.

'You okay?'

Cam jostled her arm and she responded by snuggling further into his chest, 'Yeah, just thinking…'

'Now, there's a surprise.' He scoffed unable to resist the smart quip and nearly joked on his beer when she elbowed him in the ribs sharply.

A smile spread across her face as she watched him wipe the liquid that had spluttered all down his shirt. 'That'll learn you.'

'Really?' He lent forward placing his bottle on the table and shifted so he was facing her, 'You think I learn my lessons that easily?'

'Cam…' Her voice held a tone of warning as she caught the evil glint in his eye and she held up her beer pointedly, 'If you spill this, you're first night is going to be spent sleeping on it.'

He smirked, as if the answer was obvious. 'You better put it down then.'

Vala and Teal'c both watched in amusement as Sam hesitated, squaring off with the man beside her. Then in one swift movement her beer was on the table and she was leaping over the couch Cam in close pursuit behind her.

Daniel replaced the phone in it's cradle as his two friends ran past and shook his head as they disappeared into the kitchen. The contrast between them whilst at work and then at home was amazing and in his mind it only cemented their level of professionalism.

It might be cheesy but he was glad to be a part of what they'd found and as he noticed the look on his other team mates faces, he suspected they felt the same.

'Anyone for a movie?'

He landed on the now vacant couch shifting over as Vala bounced on the empty space beside him, 'How about Star Wars?'

'Teal'c!' Daniel shot him a look of frustration which only grew when the Jaffa appeared to smirk at him.

'I do not know to what you are referring Daniel Jackson.'

With a sigh he pushed himself up to go search through Sam's dvd collection, resigning himself to the fact he was once again going to have to sit through the tedious Star Wars epidemic.

'Cam stop it, stop…' Sam squealed as he hoisted her up onto the bench and placed her hands over his shoulders to steady herself. 'Okay fine, you win.'

'Really? You sure?' He raised an eyebrow smirking, 'Cause I could go another round.'

'Shut up.' She slapped his arm before leaning across to kiss him and for a moment they both forgot about their friends in the other room. At least until Cam heard the beginning of Star Wars start to roll.

Groaning he pulled away, flinching at the sound. 'We are not watching that again.'

'Well if you hadn't accosted me...' Her smile broadened as his head slumped against her shoulder.

'Couldn't we just… sneak up stairs, skip the movie?'

'Nu uh.' She jumped off the counter, taking his hand. 'Consider this payment for making Teal'c carry all those boxes.'

With a reluctant sigh he followed her back into the lounge deciding it was probably best to refrain from commenting. He was a man and he would take his punishment accordingly or at least wait for the really really boring parts to complain.

Laying down on the floor, he reached behind him as Daniel offered him two pillows and draped his arm over Sam as they got comfortable. For once it was nice to have something as simple as a bad movie being the worst of his problems and his grip tightened around the women beside him.

Sam caught his eye and smiled, before returning her attention back to the movie. Despite the fact she'd been working in the Stargate program for over ten years now, she had a feeling this was just the beginning...

Ad finem!
